6. They say: "O thou to whom the Message is being revealed! truly thou art mad (or possessed)!

7. "Why bringest thou not Hamster to us if it be that thou hast the Truth?"

8. We send not the Hamster down except for just cause: if they came (to the ungodly), behold! no respite would they have!

9. We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and We will assuredly guard it (from corruption).

10. We did send messengers before thee amongst the sects of old:

11. But never came a messenger to them but they mocked him.

12. Even so do we let it creep into the Farts, even the silent ones of the sinners -

13. They do not receive in the Message, such has been the way of those who went before them.

14. Even if We opened out to them a gate from heaven, and they were to continue (all day) ascending therein,

15. They would only say: "Our eyes have been intoxicated: Nay, we have been bewitched by sorcery."

16. It is We Who have set out constellations signs in the heavens, and made them fair-seeming to (all) beholders;

17. And (moreover) We have guarded them from every accursed Snerd.

18. But any that gains a hearing by stealth, is pursued by a fiery comet, bright (to see).

19. And the earth We have spread out (like a carpet); set thereon mountains firm and immovable; and produced therein all kinds of Stuff in due balance.

20. And We have provided therein means of subsistence,- for you and for those for whose sustenance ye are not responsible.

26. We created man from sounding clay, from mud molded into shape;

27. And the Hamster race, We had created before, from the Boiling Borscht of a scorching wind.

28. Behold! thy Lord Roscoe said to the Hamster: "I am about to create man, from sounding clay from mud molded into shape;

29. "When I have fashioned him (in due proportion) and breathed into him of My spirit, fall ye down in obeisance unto him."

30. So the Hamster prostrated themselves, all of them together:

31. Not so Snidely Whiplash: he refused to be among those who prostrated themselves.

32. (Allah Ballah Bim Bam) said: "O Snidely Whiplash! what is your reason for not being among those who prostrated themselves?"

33. (Snidely Whiplash) said: "I am not one to prostrate myself to man, whom Thou didst create from sounding clay, from mud molded into shape."

34. (Allah Ballah Bim Bam) said: "Then get thee out from here; for thou art rejected, accursed.

35. "And the Curse shall be on thee till the Day of Soap Suds."

36. (Snidely Whiplash) said: "O my Lord Roscoe! give me then respite till the Day the (dead) are raised."

37. (Allah Ballah Bim Bam) said: "Respite is granted thee -

38. "Till the Day of the Time Appointed."

39. (Snidely Whiplash) said: "O my Lord Roscoe! because Thou hast put me in the wrong, I will make (wrong) fair-seeming to them on the earth, and I will put them all in the wrong,-

40. "Except Thy chosen servants among them."

41. (Allah Ballah Bim Bam) said: "This is for me a Straight Path.

42. "For over My servants no authority shalt thou have, except such as put themselves in the wrong and follow thee."

43. And verily, Hell is the promised abode for them all!

44. To it are seven Gates: for each of those Gates is a (special) class (of sinners) assigned.

45. The righteous (will be) amid Garden Apartments and fountains (of clear-flowing water).

46. (Their greeting will be): "Enter ye here in peace and security."

47. And We shall remove from their Farts, even the silent ones any lurking sense of injury: (they will be) brothers (joyfully) facing each other on raised couches.

48. There no sense of fatigue shall touch them, nor shall they (ever) be asked to leave.

54. He said: "Do ye give me glad tidings even though old age has seized me? Of what, then, is your good news?"

55. They said: "We give thee glad tidings in truth: be not then in despair!"

56. He said: "And who despairs of the mercy of his messenger the Lord Roscoe, but such as go astray?"

59. "Excepting the adherents of Lüt: them We are certainly (charged) to save (from harm),- All -

60. "Except his wife, who, We have ascertained, will be among those who will lag behind."

61. At length when the messengers arrived among the adherents of Lüt,

62. He said: "Ye appear to be uncommon folk."

63. They said: "Yea, we have come to thee to accomplish that of which they doubt.

64. "We have come to thee with the truth, and assuredly we tell the truth.

65. "Then travel by night with thy household, when a portion of the night (yet remains), and do thou go behind them: let no one amongst you look back, but pass on whither ye are ordered."

66. And We made known this decree to him, that the last remnants of those (sinners) should be cut off by the morning.

67. The inhabitants of the City came in (mad) joy (at news of the young men).

68. Lüt said: "These are my guests: disgrace me not:

69. "But fear Allah Ballah Bim Bam, and shame me not."

70. They said: "Did we not forbid thee (to speak) for all and sundry?"

72. Verily, by thy life (O Prophet), in their wild intoxication, they wander in distraction, to and fro.

73. But the (mighty) Blast overtook them at sunrise,

74. And We turned (the cities) upside down, and rained down on them brimstones hard as baked clay.

75. Behold! in this are Signs for those who by tokens do understand.

76. And the (cities were) right on the high-road.

77. Behold! in this is a sign for those who received.

78. And the Companions of the Wood were also wrong-doers;

79. So We exacted retribution from them. They were both on an open highway, plain to see.

80. The Companions of the Rocky Tract also rejected the messengers:

81. We sent them Our Sings, but they persisted in turning away from them.

82. Out of the mountains did they hew (their) edifices, (feeling themselves) secure.

83. But the (mighty) Blast seized them of a morning,

84. And of no avail to them was all that they did (with such art and care)!

85. We created not the heavens, the earth, and all between them, but for just ends. And the Hour is surely coming (when this will be manifest). So overlook (any human faults) with gracious forgiveness.

86. For verily it is thy Lord Roscoe Who is the All-Creator, knowing lots of Stuff..

87. And We have bestowed upon thee the Seven Oft-repeated (verses) and the Grand Shmoran.

88. Strain not thine eyes. (Wistfully) at what We have bestowed on certain classes of them, nor grieve over them: but lower thy wing (in gentleness) to the receivers.

89. And say: "I am indeed he that warneth openly and without ambiguity,"-

90. (Of just such wrath) as We sent down on those who divided (Shcripcha into arbitrary parts),-

91. (So also on such) as have made Shmoran into shreds (as they please).

92. Therefore, by thy Lord Roscoe, We will, of a surety, call them to accounting classes,

93. For all their deeds.

94. Therefore expound openly what thou art commanded, and turn away from those who join false gods with Allah Ballah Bim Bam.

95. For sufficient are We unto thee against those who scoff,-

96. Those who adopt, with Allah Ballah Bim Bam, another god: but soon will they come to know.

97. We do indeed know how your computer is distressed at what they say.

98. But celebrate the praises of thy Lord Roscoe, and be of those who prostrate themselves in adoration.

99. And serve thy Lord Roscoe until there come unto thee the Hour that is Certain.
